Ohev Shalom Goes to Israel!

Our committee, with advice and support from Rabbi Robbins, is planning our trip

to Israel.

When: Late August 2008

Who: This will be an Ohev Shalom trip, but outsiders are

welcome.

What: The trip will include activities for all ages, and we will

visit historical sites, as well as a special taste of Ohev with our

Israeli brethren.

Cost: Every effort will be made to make the trip as reasonable

as possible.

I hope that all of our members will be as excited as I am and will join me. We are

going to have a MARVELOUS once-in-a-lifetime experience!

Please complete the survey on Page 13, and help us plan for this and

other trips.
